Bride & Bloom Magazine

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Boy have I waited a long time to feature these photos! I was lucky enough to be a part of this gorgeous shoot last year and we were so happy to finally see it get featured in Bride & Bloom Magazine! The wonderful team behind the beautiful photos are Stephanie Williams who shot the day, Heavenly Blooms who did the amazing florals, and Posh Paperie who created the adorable paper goods! I hope you enough this lovely Spring shoot as much as I did!

How stunning are these flowers!!!

For the cake I decided to incorporate both round and petal tiers and I love the overall shape of the cake. We used the lace pattern that Posh Paperie designed and printed it out on edible frosting sheets and then adhered it to the cake. Finally we made a beautiful open sugar pink peony to accent the top of the cake.

You can check out the lovely photos in the current issue of Bride & Bloom Magazine!

I was lucky enough to be featured twice in the magazine…below is another one of my cakes. I love the combo of pink and gold together!

Some other exciting news is happening this week! Some of you might know that I had the great opportunity to film with Tori & Dean on their upcoming new wedding series “STORIbook Weddings“. We filmed 3 out of the 8 episodes with them and the season starts this Wednesday @ 10pm on the Oxygen Network! I don’t know exactly what episode numbers we are on, but I would definitely tune in for the whole series as it should be a lot of wedding fun!

Wedding Cake Time!

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Thanks so much for your sweet comments from our last wedding cake post! I am excited to share some new designs with you today as well!

This first cake design I got inspired to create based off a intricate print. I loved how the bride & groom silhouettes were surrounded by words that described marriage & their relationship. I also love the color scheme of blush pink and grey…overall I was quite happy with it!

Kyong did a great joy hand painting all the details on this cake…it definitely was a labor of love!

These next three cakes were all for one wedding. The bride couldn’t make up her mind about just one design, so instead we did three completely different techniques on three different cakes for her, while keeping with her same color scheme.

Kyong hand painted these gorgeous, delicate branches & added two fondant love birds. The design matched the bride & groom’s invitation.

Up next was a simplistic two tier wedding cake we did for a modern Hawaiian style wedding. I loved the texture on the cake with the pearlized finish and then we simply accented it with multiple burnt orange sugar flower dahlias.

All buttercream cake below with detailed piping that matched the bride’s invitation.

The bride wanted lots and lots of gold and that’s what we gave her! We also incorporated a touch of brown & then a deep red in the garden rose sugar flower.

This next cake is a great example of an inexpensive cake that still looks gorgeous…I love the mixture of rustic, yet elegant!

My idea of an all-white wedding cake…lots of detail & texture, but still simplistic & modern.

I do have to say I love gardenia sugar flowers!

This last cake is both elegant and romantic…I love the combination of blush pink & gold together!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog…we’d love to hear which cake was your favorite!

Recent Cakes from Sweet & Saucy Shop

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I’m still trying to catch up on blog posting some cakes that we had the pleasure of making last year! I have been so blessed to have such an amazing team behind me this past year and am excited as we go into this next year full of new couples, new cakes, and lots of fun times!

First up is a cake that I was so excited to work on! This cake definitely has the most sugar flowers we’ve ever done before and I loved it. We wanted it to be romantic and elegant and I think we did it!

This next cake was a challenge that I was up to. The bride worked for the Girl Scout Company and wanted to implement the cookies onto the main wedding cake and 4 small side cakes as well. I painted the cookies with edible gold paint and then added some chocolate jewels & bottoms too. I really was thrilled with how it all turned out!

This black and white cake below is one that Kyong and I dreamed up. I love having Kyong hand paint on our cakes so we came up with a look that we liked and let her go to town. We accented it with a huge white sugar rose on top and it was finished!

Not all cakes are elegant & girlie, this next cake is full of modern fun with a whimsical flair. We used hand cut fondant pieces and then painted on the cake as well. The shape is unique too because instead of traditional rounds the bride wanted hexagon shapes.

Next up we did a traditional elegant wedding cake with a vintage twist. We did brush embroidery on two of the tiers, mimicked the brides jeweled band on her wedding dress for one tier, and then lastly added a single blush pink garden rose to the bottom tier.

I love the look of bright colors, textures, and multiple cakes when done in the right way and I think we managed to pull it off with this next wedding. Thanks to Jasmine Star for the photo below!

And lastly, normally draping isn’t my look, but I really did like this traditional style cake that we created. I think the monochromatic look of it makes it look a little modern, but still very elegant and traditional.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and definitely let us know what you think of the cakes!

Rustic Dream Wedding

Monday, December 20th, 2010

I am so excited to share these gorgeous photos with you from Wildflowers Photography! When I saw them for the first time I was completely in love with every detail from this wedding. Hayley and I both happen to know the bride, Whitney, from high school so it was such a joy to get to be a part of her wedding day! I think they designed every aspect of this wedding brilliantly and I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as I do!

Modern Photo Shoot

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I absolutely love getting to do photo shoots with talented people and this shoot was definitely one of them! I teamed up with my dear friends Courtney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, Carissa, from JL Designs, and Elizabeth & Karrie, from Posh Paperie for this amazing opportunity! The fabulous wedding photographer, Jessica Claire, asked us to do a mock wedding set up for one of her photo workshops and I have to say that I think we went to town! I absolutely love this modern, bold look for a wedding! I thought it would be fun to start out with dessert photos for a chance, so here they are!
